"It's a fabulous fowl," cried Uncle Sol,
Stabbing the carcass with a practiced knife.
Breadcrumbs and chestnuts erupted from the wound.
"Here's some of the good stuff," said Sol.
"And what's your preference here?"
He piled it up and I had to protest.
"I won't have any room for stuffing,
sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, roast potatoes,
jellied salad, brussel sprouts, turnips, cranberry
sauce and
brown and serve rolls with butter."
"Anything I haven't mentioned?"
"Here's the gravy," said Cousin Hank.
"Here's some cole slaw from KFC," said Sophie.
The plum pudding waited on the sideboard.

mmmmm Sounds delicous. Now I'm so hungery I can't even make an accurate commentation on poetic devices. Over all it was alright. I think it could have been better. However I must ask of you one thing, never use that color combinitation for text and background. It hurts my eyes and head, and detracts from the over all effect of the poem. -_-
